Most of the training was a review for me.. that being said, I did learn some new cool things about the tool. also the view of the overall market and how to read it was good. . 4 hrs was a bit too much for me. Thank you for the help and support. FD.

Interactive Trading Elite Retreat 2020
The experience was everything I was hoping for. After beginning my training back in October of 2019, I had yet to put the trigger on options trading. I just didn’t get. Too many moving parts. In this seminar, we were reminded to move at our own pace. Trade small to start, have and exit strategy, and that it’s absolutely ok to trade only calls and puts if you’re not yet comfortable with vertical spreads or Iron Condors. The “Asset Protection” and “Tax Strategies” part of the retreat was a plus! The food was great, and the friendly competition between the speakers made the environment feel more authentic. I would definitely recommend this to my friends and family. Thank you all for your time and knowledge. It was a small price to pay for my family’s pursuit of financial literacy and freedom. 🙏🏾

The Elite Retreat
I thoroughly enjoyed the Elite Retreat! The teaching from Brian, Cam and Joel was AWESOME, the education was ON POINT and to TOP IT OFF being shown examples of trades!! The food and snacks served to us was really good!! The only thing I would have loved to see more of is more trades!! I Jeff sharing his life's experience with option.
Thank you for everything!!!

Trying to be neutral
Just wanted to wait until the refund cheque cleared before I wrote this review. There seems to be a lot of debate over what Interactive Trader does and does not do, so I just hope whoever reads this gets a full picture before making a decision.
I originally signed up for the Kevin O'Leary event around Feb. 2019 in Vancouver, Canada. I was surprised to find a pitch on a 3 day trading workshop, at and $1299 CAD no less, but they did promise a full refund after the workshop, so why not? Fast forward to my workshop date around the end of March, and I got to talking to some of the attendees. A couple of people I talked to were already wary going in, and having read a few reviews online, I informed them there would likely be more upsells, and a list of requirements to get that refund, namely a min. of 20 live trades worth $2000 USD. Yes, I read the FINE PRINT. At this point I knew I didn't have the money, so I figured it would be a $1299 lesson for me.
Over the course of the weekend, Shaun threw a ton of info to both impress and intimidate the attendees. Impress with his knowledge and acumen as a trader, and intimidate with how much needed to be learned, and how we realistically couldn't do it without their program. I'll say this: I don't agree with Shaun's teaching style, but throughout the whole weekend he did not lie. In fact, during the first day he taught us exactly how to make the $2000/20 live trades requirement in order to get our refund: Day 1, buy $100 of stocks, there's trade #1 and $100 trading completed; Day 2, sell the $100 of stocks, there's trade #2 and $200 trading completed. Just rinse and repeat until you hit the $2000 quota. You could probably get the refund with as little as $300 in a trading account, just cycling it back and forth.
Of course attending a 3 day workshop is NOT instantly going to put you on equal footing with every other options trader out there. As some reviewers have said, options trading is ridiculously complex. They did not promise you riches with this course, they promised you the possibility if you work hard through their program. Yes, $20K is a lot of money. I couldn't afford it, so I walked away. Many people in my workshop signed up, and just as many didn't. Some of the coaches were definitely friendlier/harder sells than others, but no one I talked to felt pressured to sign away $20K. One younger guy I talked to said the were even willing to pare down parts of the program to meet his budget.
Honestly, their tactic is not so different from what timeshares use: come listen to their pitch, bait you with a promise of a free trip, and they get to sit you down one-on-one to convince you to take out a loan in order to buy into their resorts (yes, a Worldmark rep really said it was in the best interest of my family to take out a loan, so we could enjoy family vacations for years to come!) Was it uncomfortable? Yes. Did I feel pressured? A lot less than that Worldmark hardsell. Am I happy about it? Well, I could have done without the upsell, but I did get a glimpse of the options trading world, and learn how to handle myself in these situations.
As for processing the refund, I took my sweet time, using almost all my of my allotted 60 days to complete the requirements. With about 2 weeks to spare I called in and surprisingly the phone picked up after 2 rings to an actual human being. He advised that I had reached the wrong department, and promptly transferred me to their tuition processing dept. From there I submitted my initial documents by email, and it was a constant back and forth as the rep politely and dutifully helped me get all my documents in order, finally meeting all their requirements, and submitting it for review. A quick look at the email thread in my inbox shows it took over 20 emails exchanges to get it right. I had actually gone over my deadline by 3-4 days, luckily they do give a 10 day grace period to submit the refund documents. I was informed my case would go to a review committee, and from there the refund would be process, all in all it would take up to 3 weeks. The whole time I had a nagging feeling that they could use any excuse to deny my claim, but in the end I got my money back.

Great customer service
Initally I gave a bad review but they followed up immediately and resolved the issue 100% to my satisfaction. I was very disappointed. I genuinely thought I would be able to trade options after the 3 day course. I was introduced to Interactive Trader at the achievers conference in Chicago. Then I was shocked when they started up selling us additional education. My consultant Kendra or what ever you call her was a joke. She was late for my first appointment and then spent five minutes with me. The second day she right out rude to me. The faciliator or Scott Martin was lovely and definitely very knowledgeable. Over all just disappointed. I just wish they had been more transparent upfront that you would need additional education. They where pressurizing people to put the training on a credit card.
Response from Interactive Trader· May 20, 2019
Carmel,
I am so sorry this did not work out the way either of us planned. We go into each event with a goal of helping each student feel comfortable with trading. We know that everyone works at different levels. Most students do not opt for the additional help and take what they have learned and run with it. I will reach out to the Management Team and make them aware of your feelings about Kendra. I will also reach out to you personally and see if there is anything I can do to help. Please do not let this little setback discourage you from making this a success.
